What this video covers
I’m so glad you could join us today because we’re talking about one of the most talked about topics in health care right now, which are GLP-1 medications. You’ve probably heard the brand names of Ozempic and Wegovy and Mounjaro or the generic names of tirzepatide or semaglutide. They’re in the news, they’re in the social media, they’re in the doctor’s office, and honestly, with all the noise out there, it’s hard to know what is real. So, today, we’re going to cut through the hype.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- I’m so glad you could join us today because we’re talking about one of the most talked about topics in health care right now, which are GLP-1 medications.
- Tirzepatide is actually a dual agonist, meaning activates two hormone receptors, the GLP-1 and another hormone called GIP, or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide.
- Let me tell you about one of the most important studies that almost nobody talks about when they’re promoting these medications, the STEP 1 extension trial.
- Clinical guidelines on how to stop GLP-1 medications without rebound are essentially still lacking.
- Now, if you are considering GLP-1 therapy or you are already on it, please work with a qualified healthcare provider, your physician, a registered dietitian, and a certified personal trainer.
- In my clinic, patients that are on GLP-1 therapy, we have weekly discussions about lifestyle changes, diet, nutrition, and exercise, as well as I give them a copy of my book, Small Changes for Weight Loss.
